She Is Suffering - Live at the Astoria, December 1994
[Spoken- James Dean Bradfield]
"She is sufferin'!"
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Beauty finds refuge in herself
Lovers wrapped inside each others lies
Beauty is such a terrible thing
She is suffering, yet more than death
[Chorus]
She Is Suffering, she sucks you deeper in
She Is Suffering, you exist within her shadow
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Beauty, she is scarred into mans soul
A flower attracting lust, vice and sin
A vine that can strangle life from a tree
Carrion, surrounding, picking on leaves
[Chorus]
She Is Suffering, she sucks you deeper-
She Is Suffering, you exist within her shadow
[Instrumental Interlude/ Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Beauty, she poisons unfaithful all
Stifled, her touch is leprous and pale
The less she gives the more you need her
No thoughts to forget when we were children!
[Chorus]
She Is Suffering, she sucks you deeper-
She Is Suffering! Nature's lukewarm pleasure
[Instrumental Outro]
